We consider the celebrated Blackwell Approachability Theorem for two-player games with vector payos. Blackwell himself previously showed that the theorem implies the existence of a
o-regret" algorithm for a simple online learning problem. We show that this relationship is in fact much stronger, that Blackwell’s result is equivalent to, in a very strong sense, the problem of regret minimization for Online Linear Optimization. We show that any algorithm for one such problem can be eciently converted into an algorithm for the other. We provide one novel application of this reduction: the rst ecient algorithm for calibrated forecasting.
